hi and sorry for my poor english

i bought my first car this summer. im now shopping for used winter tires and wheels.


i found tires with the recommended spec. for my car, already mounted on wheels.
My question is about the wheels, the only info i have is: 5 bolts winter wheels. Do i need more info on wheels? or is it 'standard' size so it will fit any car .

Also, i have TPMS. is it a problem if i want to install my winter tires myself. I dont care if TPMS dont work on my winter tires.

thanks

I would not suggesting buying used wheels/tires only using the bolt pattern.

The size of the tire matters, the camber on the wheel, the width of the wheel etc.

For wheels you have to know:

1. Bolt Pattern
2. Offset
3. Center Bore Size

All of them have to be compatible to your car.

It would be helpful if you could post your car: Year, Make, Model
and the wheels/tires you are getting: Year, Make, Model of the car that the wheels were used.

Close, but no cigar. I would keep looking for Mazda 6/Ford Fusion wheels.

they are awfully close... is the rims from altima stock? if stock, then no, because your centre bore is larger.
